I'm stopped at a light today, behind a car, i'm not splitting the lane because there's a right i need to make, and don't want to cut anyone off to do it.

We're at a dead stop, and the cager in front of me puts it into reverse and RAMS me and the bike i'm on (my friend's K5). I'm so confused as to why he did this. I didn't antogonize him before, i wasn't splitting his lane, i was just sitting behind him waiting for the light!

I ride up next to him and try to see what the hell is his problem. He alleges i rolled into his car, and that i'm trying to mess up his beater POS. That's funny because i saw his reverse lights light up. I thought maybe he was tryign to get into another lane, or something, but it turns out he was doing it to fuck with me.

The damage on the bike wasn't bad, the front fender is broken, and his car looked fine, but it pissed me off because he didn't pull over, AND he was talking shit. I went to the sheriff's station to see what could be done, and so now i'm wondering if i should press charges or just let it go.

What would you guys do? think i could get an assault charge pinned on this guy? keep in mind i'd rather not waste my time in a courtroom when there's money to be made, and no real damage was done to the bike or me.
